🧠 Understanding Concussions
A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that affects how your brain functions. Symptoms may include:
• Headache or pressure in the head
• Dizziness, balance problems
• Nausea or vomiting
• Sensitivity to light or noise
• Trouble concentrating or memory issues
• Fatigue or sleep changes

🌟 Recovery Tips
1. Rest is Essential
• Allow both brain and body time to heal
• Take short naps if needed, but avoid oversleeping
2. Limit Screen Time
• Reduce exposure to phones, TV, and computers
• Bright lights and fast-moving visuals may worsen symptoms
3. Gradual Return to Activity
• Start with light physical activity (short walks, stretching)
• Slowly progress under medical guidance
• Avoid high-risk activities (sports, driving, heavy lifting) until cleared
4. Support Your Brain
• Stay hydrated
• Eat nutrient-rich foods: leafy greens, berries, fish, nuts
• Limit caffeine and alcohol
5. Manage Stress & Sleep
• Create a quiet, calm environment
• Practice deep breathing, meditation, or gentle yoga
